Question

1. find the value of each expression.

a. $\frac{1}{2}×6$
b. $\frac{1}{7}×6$
c. $\frac{1}{8}×11$
d. $\frac{1}{3}×34$
(from unit 2, lesson 7.)

1. a. kiran ran $\frac{1}{5}$ the length of his road, which is 9 miles long. how far did kiran run? show or explain your thinking.

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply fraction and integer

For part a, $\frac{1}{2}\times6=\frac{6}{2}$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{6}{2} = 3$

For part b, $\frac{1}{7}\times6=\frac{6}{7}$

For part c, $\frac{1}{8}\times11=\frac{11}{8}$

For part d, $\frac{1}{3}\times34=\frac{34}{3}$

For 3a, to find $\frac{1}{5}$ of 9 miles, we multiply $\frac{1}{5}\times9=\frac{9}{5}= 1.8$ miles

Answer:

a. 3
b. $\frac{6}{7}$
c. $\frac{11}{8}$
d. $\frac{34}{3}$
3a. 1.8 miles
